FC 25 - 26 Pro clubs requests - The end ( discussion )
this will be a repost from my fifa 22 forums post, fifa 24 forums post and fifa 14 - 15 forums post ( i got banned in all of them ) and everything still applies: Starting from fifa 10-14 fifa Pro clubs was the best mode You could play . 11 vs 11 With human players the beauty of getting actual 22 players like the real life sport and a collective effort towards a goal felt unreal . After that the game mechanics changed to run down the wing simulator Where you have 1 short guy (because tall guys can never be fast) and 1 Tall guy and the short guy runs down the wing holding right trigger on your controller and presses the cross button and tall guy heads it in . It became a game that only required you to spam X button on your controller and you’ll spam away until it works and it will work . Now I’ve been fortunate enough to play in custom organized 11 vs 11 leagues since FIFA 11 . Ranked 1 club in the world to leagues like VIFA , VPSA , VPFL , iFVPAA international, VFL , IVL , WPSA , ELITE FC , FIFA K1NGZ , l Ambitious l these are clubs in XBOX and custom leagues 11 v 11 all organized by third parties with large number of players because FIFA doesn’t want it to get a competitive platform going for clubs . There was a time where people were genuinely interested in investing their time off their real life with no pay but for the passion of the specific pro clubs where the wins were satisfying and losses felt emotional . FIFA pro clubs had and still has such a potential . I’ve posted a thread in this forum 11 years ago about clubs where I proposed ideas such as : 1) ADD A SUBSTITUTION OPTION ( where if your friends join late they can be be subbed in instead of a bot if you are playing regular division club matches it’s bots and only 2 members ) 2) ADD A SPECTATOR MODE ( where if a player wishes they can sit in the bench and watch a live game as it’s being played I know someone can stream but watching a game from in game is better since if you play competitive leagues you may have more than 11 players on at the same time and based on your competitive matches you can spectate and make decisions into next game subbing people on and off while they literally watch the game from the bench making it actually realistic . 3) ADD PAID DLC so EA actually gives a s*** . It’s very clear EA does not make money off pro clubs and ultimate team is the money maker mode with all the micro transactions and that’s why they stopped caring about pro clubs mode . Now this Idea allows them to atleast make some sort of money and get more support for clubs and get some sort of motivation to help improve hardcore pro clubs players . 4)BRING BACK lobbies and 11 v 11 modes and drop ins . Yes I know it was chaotic and people fighting for same spots but atleast you didn’t constantly just play 1 v 1 in empty lobbies . The point of this mode is multiplayer and the chaos it brings but it’s beautiful when everyone works together and you are rewarded . There’s also a mode once upon a time where you could play 11 v 11 with irl players in lobbies that’s also been taken away from us .. for no reason Here I am at my mid - late 20s just reminiscing and reminding myself that I made this exact post 11 years ago posting 3 constructive feedback as a customer who cares about the game mode and willing to pay a little bit more to see a little bit more . But I know posting a constructive comment or feedback will get me permanently banned on this forums again . It’s the end of this mode it’s unfortunate the population of the pro clubs dropped 196% past 10 years gradually .. it’s 2022 moving into 2023 you can’t tell me adding 2 things that’s really hard for them ? Just 1 or 2 actual features ?? Instead of just renaming “traits” into “archetypes “ or changing specialties into “perks” these are not improving the game it’s showing veterans that you don’t care anymore about the game anymore because money runs the world . I have no words but to just say this I had to let it out and I know my ideas are not perfect but atleast I tried . I’m from Vancouver British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 where the FIFA franchise has been made . I’m out thanks for the read if EA doesn’t permanently ban me and censor me I’m sure you’ll be able to read this . FIFA 23 is the Last ever FIFA since EA lost licensing and it has been an era of huge disappointment and they let all of down with no effort. They don't care as long as the money comes in. Now with FIFA 25 and 24 we had issues with drop ins not finding players to people hacking in FC 25 clubs modes or glitching to slow down defenders. The gameplay is dead and 10 year old games now perform better. updated add on : Instead of focusing on 1.2 Billion hair and audience animations which no one cares about why not focus on fixing gameplay , adding all the features requested to pro clubs.. or is it the greed of ultimate team packs and micro transactions thats preventing you from doing it? It is The end of what was to be best of our times . They had multiple chances to resolve multiple years to add and improve.... but now its gone. Forever a memory that cannot be re-lived again. Now with FIFA giving up ON EA the only thing they have added is "CROSS-PLAY" within same generations thats their only real "Feature" still you cannot substitute players into a match. This game the potential to be a major E-SPORT ground since 2012 if they played their cards right and maybe into top E-SPORT platform and even in Olympic E-SPORT for pro clubs 11vs11. At this point EA should just delete and close the franchise. Instead of faking it and renaming old conventions such as "traits" now being called "playstyles" then calling it a "new thing" just stop pretending and delete the franchise since you failed and get back to making a proper game like battlefield. Dont put half effort into it just go all in with full effort or give up completely . Dont waste your own time or your customers time faking it the whole time. You gave up on us ... and we will give up on you. This year is your last chance to redeem yourself as a final note before you file for bankruptcy.
Multiple Game modes (3v3,4v4)
It's absurd that we can't play UT or seasonal matches in 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 variations, both against online opponents and among ourselves. In Club UT or seasonal matches, you can display the results of matches against previous opponents before the match. Why isn't there an option for everyone to join a football club of their choice, where we can play matches in an open league, etc.
New Gameplay
Dear EA , we appreciate the new rush game mode which is really nice . But we miss the gameplay mechanism of Volta with 5v5 and the walls (personally me missing it) . The 3v3 is pretty much not the move but if you could update the 3v3 into 5v5 with walls or without , it would be much better experience. Another thing is please add a guest support on rush to couch play with friends and other people online. Perhaps it would really be appreciable if you could add a no ranked 5v5 online with the add guest option for couch play so we all get a new open experience. As Fifa is one of the most couch played games , I guess my points will be valid enough to get through. Please fix this and bring us the OG Volta mechanism back in a seperate menu.Suggestion: Add local guest support to Rush in FC 26
You allow players to add a local guest and play together on the same team in FUT Rivals, which makes the experience more fun and social. It would be great if you could add this same option in Rush mode as well, so friends can enjoy playing together on the same console instead of needing separate setups.Unable to join party or play with friend after an update.
Hello I am experiencing serious connectivity issues with EA FC 25 on my Xbox Series X following a recent game update. My friend, who plays on PC, and I cannot play together in any meaningful way despite both being able to play online individually Specifically: We cannot join each other’s EA Connect parties. We cannot join each other’s lobbies or parties to play matches together. When attempting to play in our Club, we receive the error message: “An unexpected error occurred while attempting the club operation. Please try again later.” We are unable to play even regular matches against each other (e.g., friendlies or kick-off modes). Both of our NAT types and network settings are verified as open or moderate, making local connectivity issues unlikely. We have tried toggling cross-play off and on, relinking EA accounts, restarting our consoles and clients, but none of these steps resolve the problem. This issue completely blocks cross-platform multiplayer functionality between Xbox and PC via EA Connect, significantly impacting our ability to enjoy the game together. We would appreciate any guidance on troubleshooting further or an estimated timeline for a fix. Thank you for your support. Kind regardsServer issue
Hi EA Team, I’m a dedicated EA FC player from North India, and I’d like to request servers for our region. Currently, we’re connected to Mumbai or distant servers, which causes high ping (50–70ms), delays, and a poor online experience. North India has a large and growing player base, and adding local servers would: Reduce latency and improve gameplay Support competitive and esports players in the region Improve matchmaking and stability for thousands of players Please consider this—it would really help make the game fairer and smoother for many of us. Latency Issues: Players often get 50–70 ms ping at best, compared to 20–30 ms for those closer to Mumbai. Competitive Disadvantage: In modes like FUT Champions or Division Rivals, this delay creates an unfair playing field We understand that deploying new servers involves cost and logistics, but considering India’s massive player base and increasing demand, especially from the North, it’s a worthy long-term investment. Please consider this request seriously. Many of us are passionate fans who simply want a fair and smooth online experience. Thanks,
